It’s not about teaching the GOP a lesson, it’s about not voting for an out and out crazy communist no matter whether there is a D or an R next to their name.
Ray, Republicans willing to vote for Romney HAVE to attribute our refusal to vote for him to something as petty and mindless as "teaching them a lesson" or revenge or religious bigotry or being "perfectionists." They ARE REQUIRED to cling to believing we're motivated by such pretend things. Believing it is pivotal to being able to rationalize voting for a functional amoral leftist while claiming to be a conservative or a Republican. Believing it shields them from the truth, and they cannot handle the truth.
